Poly Notes-What Are Your Thought?

I think they are beautiful...albeit paper is more expensive to maintain. Having silver coinage is a far better way to keep circulating money for years to come. I will have to admit that some of the paper money out there right now is absoluetly gorgeous. Thanks.

I find the comments about the ink coming off interesting. My understanding of how the polymer notes are created is that they are a "sandwich" of more than one layer and the printed (ink) layer is inside the note with polymer layers covering it.

Monopoly money is a single color for each value, much like much of our money. The colored plastic money is as far from Monopoly money as you can get.

 

Oh my, how I would hate this.

 

It's not as terrible as you imagine. When I say that there is just clear plastic it's just like along the creases. Really thin amounts, not like large chunks of the bill.
